“Might I add that we Hunter supporters were lambasted due to his low name recognition, by the same people who now fawn over Sarah Palin because of her name recognition.”
Boy - you got that right. At least now I can say I’m voting for Palin and folks know who I’m talking about. Before it was “I’m writing in Duncan Hunter” and they’d say “Who?”.
I think Bush just had the right backers. I do not think Bush was the best choice for us or the country. The only thing you can say is thank G-d we had Bush instead of one of his two Democrat rivals. But from the pool of Republicans, we did not pick a true conservative.
Seriously — that was good. Hunter may not have charisma but he has cojones. I have even more respect for him tonight than ever before. Prayers for his health — we may need him soon enough.
What delegates?
Excellent!
He made too much sense.
Thanks for talking your unquestioning followers, the elites of economics, the Warren Buffets of our society who are expertly capable of getting their paychecks deposited to the local bank (less beer money and car payment), into trying to crash our economy so you could take your the hundreds of millions to by investments at bottom dollar.
Thank god smarter people like Paulson prevailed so your avid admirers can afford electricity to listen to your blather!
I, a conservative, now look at your treacherous ways in a very different light. I could be wrong, maybe you are just stupid, but I think what you did was deceitful and on purpose and for your own gain!
You’re very correct. Hewitt, for example, was for regularization of illegals, wanted the amnesty bill and was annoyed with Congress only because they threw so much insanity into it that it could be defeated. He did, as one said, “pimp” this bailout like crazy. His sentiments lie with his self admitted clientele, the “real estate industry”. He wanted Romney, a big government liberal Republican. I tune in to Hugh because he gives some great interviews and his head is in the correct place on the WOT. But I’ve been greatly disappointed in his general positions.
Bravo, pissant! I sure miss my Hunter pings, sigh....
No, Hunter flopped because the party didn't want him in. Just like they pushed the RINO Corker over the conservative Van Hilleary in the Tennessee Senate primary race in 2006. The party leadership wants RINO's.
I hope that Duncan Hunter does run again, but he will definitely not be the only decent conservative running next time for POTUS in 2012 with Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal being possible worthy competition. Obviously, everything is really just speculation at this point when discussing ‘12 and beyond. Let’s also see how November 4 really turns out.
what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, the banks and the corporations that will grow around them will deprive the people of all their property, first by inflation and then by deflation, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Thomas Jefferson
Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.
I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning. -Andrew Jackson
The people cannot be all, & always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. Thomas Jefferson
Will lethargy or Courage mark America’s response?
Stop with that nonsense of running a poor campaign. I can’t think of anyone who ran a more poor campaign than McCain and look where he is.
You know as well as the rest of us that Hunter was taken out on purpose.
We need tar, feathers and no few nooses.
